Chapter 6 Discovery of Poisoning
Just as Zhang Qichuan was about to receive the order, a eunuch came to report: "Emperor, the guards at the gate of the palace heard that the chief of the Jingzhao Yin Mansion had an urgent matter and asked to enter the palace to meet His Majesty and Lord Song."
Emperor Yuanzhen looked at Song Guang and said, "Stop the spread."
The chief of the Jingzhao Yin Mansion is named Zhao Zhirong, which is considered Song Guang's think tank. Many cases were solved because of Zhao Zhirong. They have a good relationship with Song Guang in private. With his official position, they cannot enter the palace to meet the saint. Today, they are bound to have important things to ask for a meeting at the palace gate.
Soon Zhao Zhirong strode to the hall, looking a little anxious. After he walked to the hall, he knelt down and saluted: "Sir, please see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty. I have an urgent matter to tell Your Majesty, and then I interrupted the morning court. I hope Your Majesty will forgive you."
"Zhao Aiqing is calm, I wonder why he is so anxious?"
"When you go back to your Majesty, this morning, the people found a huge rock three kilometers away from the north city gate. The words carved on the huge rock were very strange. The news spread in the capital. The Xiaguan had sent someone to check it out. There was indeed such a matter. Since the words on the huge rock were really important, and Lord Song had not returned to the house for a long time, the Xiaguan had no choice but to request to enter the palace."
What's wrong with this? Why are there so many things happening this morning? The ministers looked at each other, looking at me and I looked at you, and found that everyone was confused and no one knew what was going on.
"What words are carved on that stone?" Emperor Yuanzhen asked calmly.
"The Western thief rebelled, and the heavens were angry, and the Yuan Huangdi was a hero, and the throne of the golden dragon." Zhao Zhirong's voice rang out across the hall.
The hall was filled with people, and everyone suddenly realized: So that's it! There were only a few mansions in the west, and only the Li Mansion had an accident last night. This thief naturally refers to Li Tianren. No wonder the body of Li Mansion died strangely. It turned out that it was to rebel and anger the gods. The laws of heaven were not tolerated!
Yun Chaoran went down to Chao and went to Yi Nian Pavilion. He also specifically ordered the kitchen to cook some dishes that the eldest lady liked. The father and daughter sat together. Hongluan stood beside him and stared at the food on the table. His eyes were almost glaring out. Yun Chaoran felt a little funny and asked, "Did you little maid have not eaten for a few days?"
"Dad, don't joke about your daughter's maid. This maid is just the first time she has seen so many dishes here."
Upon hearing this, Yun Chaoran frowned. The food in the mansion has always been good. The legitimate daughter should have four dishes and one soup, and a combination of meat and vegetables. How could she never see such many dishes?
"How many dishes are Nian'er on weekdays?" Yun Chaoran asked.
"Nian'er usually has two dishes, green bamboo soup, fried melon slices, and a white flour steamed bun. My daughter eats little, so some steamed buns will be left." Yun Zinian smiled bitterly, as if she felt a little wronged.
When Yun Chaoran heard this, he was furious: "Do you eat such things on weekdays? No wonder you are so thin. Why don't you go to the kitchen to ask, is the legitimate daughter of my general's mansion eating like this?"
"Don't be angry, my daughter was wronged at first, but Aunt An told her that her daughter is not as weak as her second sister. She is weak and eating greasy food may cause food to accumulate, which is bad for her daughter's stomach. Bamboo soup is good for her daughter's health, so her daughter drinks it like three meals a day." Yun Zinian's head was low, as if she did the wrong thing.
Every day, every three meals are like this? Yun Chaoran remembered that every time he went to Aunt An, he saw her having meals with her second daughter, eight-treasure chicken, braised elbow, blood swallow soup, and pine mushroom lotus meat porridge. Even the pastry was like two or three. Whenever he saw him, he would touch Yun Zifei's head and say, "My general's daughter should be rich and prosperous, of course, he should eat whatever she likes. He should think that the eldest daughter is the same. Thinking of what happened last night, An Yizhi, how could she be so shameful to her? Did she pretend before?
"Go and call me the butler and the kitchen manager," Yun Chaoran ordered.
"Dad, don't get angry about such a trivial matter. My daughter has been weak in recent years but is not suitable for food that is too strong to nourish her."
"Nian'er, every day bamboo shoots, soup and melon slices, it's my father's fault, Daddy has never discovered it, don't be afraid, Daddy is there no one to bully you."
After hearing this, Yun Zinian felt a warm current. As a general in the country, Yun Chaoran rarely returned home in battles. Later, the country was pacified, the country was prosperous and the people were safe, and there were few external troubles. So he lived in the mansion. He has always loved Yun Zinian very much. His two daughters were never biased with anyone, but only felt that his younger daughter was gentle and kind. The eldest daughter had no biological mother to accompany him since childhood, so he was timid and cowardly. Later, Yun Zinian admired Li Mu and scolded him, but the effect was very small. He never gave up on her many times. I guess Aunt An also saw that Yun Chaoran would not give up easily, so she was anxious to use Li Mu to destroy herself. After all, even if the father was reluctant to leave her after the matter was accomplished, he would not care about the life or death of this daughter.
Soon the housekeeper and the kitchen manager were pressed over and knelt on the ground. The kitchen manager was surnamed Liu, and he was an old woman over forty years old. He looked at the master's face secretly, his eyes slightly turned and thought about how to get out. But Housekeeper Li looked calm and confident.
Before Yun Chaoran could speak, Yun Zinian's voice rang coldly: "Does Manager Liu know his mistake?"
Manager Liu in the kitchen was shocked. How could the young lady have such aura? Every time she saw her, she was soft and weak, smiling at everyone. She shook her head and thought, it must be an illusion. This young lady has been under the control of Aunt An, and she can cause any storm.
"I don't understand the eldest lady's words. I have never collided with the eldest lady. Why did the eldest lady say this?"
"Haha, Manager Liu is so angry. Does Manager Liu have a very strong tone? Does Manager Liu don't know what Manager Liu put in my meals every day?" Yun Zinian said ambiguously.
Yun Chaoran thought Yun Zinian was talking about bamboo shoots and melon slices, but Manager Liu's heart skipped a beat. Did the eldest lady and the master find out? Yun Zinian did not miss the panic in Manager Liu's eyes and thought to himself: It's true. In fact, since time traveling through time, Yun Zinian has felt something wrong with her body. Every day, she will feel weak after exercising a little, and she will always be unable to sleep well at night. If she wakes up, she will find it difficult to fall asleep again.
